This classic bread is made with common baking ingredients and ripe bananas. Banana bread is a recipe that is over 75 years old. It has been in kitchens since the early 1930’s. As a result of being a fruit based dessert, it is healthy, delicious and simple to make. It is likewise a great way to use up ripe bananas. There is something about its taste and texture of that is incredibly appealing and addicting. I have fond memories of homemade banana bread accompanied by fresh butter and a cold glass of milk. It is an excellent dessert idea paired with just about any dish. You may also eat is as a snack with tea or coffee.
Β For additional ingredients and flavouring you may also want to consider the addition of walnuts, raisins, almonds, or macadamia nuts. Some people also add cinnamon or nutmeg for a twist of flavour. It depends on your preferences. As always, feel free to experiment with tastes. No matter what the occasion is, try our banana bread today.
